Interesting piece from David Cain. As he got into it, I wondered if he would address how the 8-hour workday came to be a standard, and was happy to see that he did.
I don't know that I agree that the evolution of modern capitalism was "calculated" to produce a certain consumerist lifestyle. My opinion of business (particularly big business) is that long-term planning is not actually its strong point. :-)
But a provocative and mindful piece, as usual from Raptitude.
btw thanks for the link!
